LHR - Steeper Approaches trial 14 September 2015
Chesty, my experience of Malaga is more limited than LHR but I would have to say that the controllers there generally have kittens if landing traffic is sequenced within 10 miles of each other. So although they ask for 160 till 4 it's not especially critical and most folks seem to fly the speed they need. If you slow early at LHR then it's likely you or the next aircraft will go around.
